Trapping is all about options in equipment, having the right gear for the job. I really don’t have a lot of equipment for my ADC work, but I do like to have a variety of traps and accessories. We have 9×11 traps of all lengths from 18 to 36 inches long in single door, single door with a bait door, double door, multipurpose traps with built in nose cones and 3 way flaps, flush mount traps and adapters, not to mention solid nose cones with flaps. The bait door is hinged at the bottom where animals work a trap to provide strength where it is needed. Bait can be wired to the door, then lifted into place and locked.
We now have the option of yet one other feature, a rear slider door for single door traps. This door rides in a track and can be lifted easily for transfer, quick release or just to add bait. With this addition we have should have a trap that will address just about any need. They are not on the websites but should be appearing soon. The sliders should be available on both 9×11 and 12×12 traps.
By spring we hope to have more accessories and new cage traps for bobcats, fox etc.
